C70 door lock failure

I'm having an issue with my 2000 Volvo C70, gasoline engine. The mileage is currently at 149353 km. The car doors can no longer be locked or unlocked. I suspect a faulty door contact signal. Has anyone encountered this before?

Could be the door switch itself or a wiring issue. Have you checked the connection to the door switch? Sometimes the plug gets loose or corroded.

You mentioned the plug connection. Is it easily accessible, or do I need to disassemble the door panel to get to it?

Yes, unfortunately you'll likely need to remove at least part of the door panel to access the door switch and inspect its wiring. Given the symptoms, it may be best to have a workshop take a look.

Thanks for the confirmation. I took it to a workshop. Turns out, it was indeed a defective cable/plug connection. Repair cost was 95€ Appreciate the advice.
